This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 419 New Movie

With the spoiler of Apple, a new player, Netflix can no longer sit on the Diaoyutai as before, and they are also starting to get anxious.

Of course, Apple is simply rich now, and it can't pose too much threat to them, so Netflix is ​​generally relatively calm.

Be calm and calm, there is still nothing less to do.

There is a saying that despises the opponent strategically and pays attention to the opponent tactically.

Netflix did the same. They began to abandon the arrogance of some monopoly groups and lowered their stature a little.

This is of great benefit to a film seller like Xu Nan.

After negotiations between the two parties, Netflix successfully took a step back and bought the online broadcasting rights of the movie "The Ax of Fallen Cherry in Washington" at a price of 200 million.

This price must be inflated, but Netflix still agreed.

Because of the spoiler Apple, the most important thing is that the movie "The Falling Cherry Ax Washington" is worth it.

In terms of the quality of the movie alone, this movie may not be good, but the starring role of this movie is Paris, who is running for president.

Can you find a second movie starring a presidential candidate?

What kind of first-line super first-line star, in front of the identity of the presidential candidate, is all scum.

It was precisely because Netflix saw the unique value of this movie that it chose to acquire it at a premium.

If Paris really becomes president, then this movie will really fly.

Well, in fact, everyone didn’t think so far. There is still more than a year before the presidential election. Netflix mainly thinks that Paris cannot be eliminated in the first round, and they should be able to survive until the middle and late stages, so that they will not lose.

The most important thing is not to let Apple take advantage.

After the news came back, Xu Nan directly opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and the insiders were extremely shocked.

It's been a long time since I was able to take advantage of Netflix.

Even the three major theater chains are a bit weak in front of Netflix. Disney even got so angry that it opened its own streaming media platform, even if it loses money.

It turned out that Xu Nan was able to take advantage of it, which was too rare.

While shocked, everyone in the circle felt aggrieved.

"Why is this Chinese person so lucky every time?"

"Yeah, the last movie was supported by theaters, and in this movie Paris is running for president, and Apple is messing things up."

"This guy is the illegitimate son of the god of luck."

If it is a director from the United States, so lucky, people in the circle are at most envious and jealous.

But if it was a Huaxia director, everyone felt that it was unbearable.

In the United States, white people are the absolute core, and other races are just vassals.

It would be fine if Xu Nan joined the country of America, and the insiders might be able to reluctantly accept him. After all, this country is an immigrant country, but he did not join the country of the United States. He is purely an outsider.

If Xu Nan was from the United States, even if he has been following crooked ways and can continue to succeed, the Americans would not care too much, but think that he is capable.

A country where pirates were born has no morals at all, everything depends on money, and whoever succeeds is right.

But Xu Nan is a foreigner, and he walks in crooked ways, and every time he tricks a director, then these insiders find Xu Nan very unpleasant.

They won't do anything, but some gossip is inevitable.

"Xu's success ultimately depends on luck."

"Yes, if it weren't for the choice of Paris as the protagonist, this movie would not have such a high box office at all."

"His marketing skills are good, but that's about it."

Xu Nan's ears were almost callused when he heard such words.

Not being envied by others is a mediocrity, the more envious and jealous these insiders are, the more it explains his success from the side.

And not all people in the circle are envious or jealous, some people still admit that Xu Nan has strength.

In the director's profession, you don't watch anything, just watch the movie box office to see if you can make money.

As long as the movie can have a high box office and make money, then everything is not a problem.

The movie "The Falling Cherry Ax in Washington" was a big success, not only helped Xu Nan earn money, but also allowed him to confirm a successful model.

As long as this model is followed, the movie has a high probability of success.

Xu Nan decided to hand over the sequel of "The Falling Cherry Ax to Washington" to Avi. Anyway, the producer-centered system is popular in the United States, and he also made a movie with Xu Nan, knowing how to make it.

Awei's ability is still good. After studying with him for so long, there shouldn't be any problems.

The reason why Xu Nan didn't choose to make the sequel himself was because he already had the inspiration for the new movie in his mind.

For this new movie, the shooting cost will be lower, and the quality of the movie is not important at all. In terms of box office, almost all of it depends on marketing.

Didn't the people in the circle always think that he was taking a slanted sword and relying on crooked ways?

They are right, this time, Xu Nan is not only doing crooked ways, he will also run on crooked ways. He will use a way that subverts common sense to let everyone know that as long as the marketing is good, any movie can be good. make money.

And that's true, isn't it?

Xu Nan first used the computer to write a few lines of the movie script, and then deleted them all.

This movie does not need a script, because the content of this movie will be very simple, so simple that even a college student can easily shoot it with a DVD.

Instead of writing the script first, it's better to get the marketing plan out first.

First, it should be this. Then that. Then
Xu Nan began to retreat to conceive a new movie. The people in the company knew about it, and no one disturbed him, allowing Xu Nan to conceive a new movie with peace of mind.

With Xu Nan's success again and again, the people in the company are now extremely convinced of Xu Nan, and firmly believe that he will lead the company to go further.

At this time, Emperor Cinemas sent an invitation letter, inviting Xu Nan to a banquet.

This is the annual gathering of the Emperor Cinemas, and anyone who is related to the Emperor Cinemas will participate. Xu Nan's Nanhai Film and Television has a 30.00% stake in the Emperor Cinemas, so of course they are eligible to participate.

Emperor Cinemas is one of the three major cinemas in the United States, and most of the entertainment industry in the United States can be related to them, so this party is extremely lively, and all the people who come are from the circle, many of them are big stars and big directors.

Ordinary people are not eligible to participate in this party. If you want to enter the party, you need to spend money to buy an invitation letter. An invitation letter can be sold at a high price of thousands of dollars, and you can't even buy it if you don't have any contacts. .

Don't think that no one will buy it. In fact, there are too many people who want to enter this party. Hollywood has never lacked handsome men and beautiful women. What is lacking is an opportunity. If you can enter the party, you may be able to find an opportunity.

Many projects are agreed upon at similar gatherings, which can be regarded as a tradition in Hollywood.

Of course Xu Nan didn't need to spend money on invitations, he could even bring people in, but everyone in the company had jobs, so he was the only one attending the party.

Xu Nan recently retreated to think about a new movie, and his head felt a little swollen when he thought about it, so he simply came here to relax and show his attitude.

When I came to the banquet site, many people had already arrived here, rubbing shoulders, men and women in formal attire everywhere, the lights were as bright as day, and the atmosphere of the banquet was hot.

Xu Nan, an Asian, is quite eye-catching here. It's not that there are no Asians here, but that there are relatively few Asians here, and their status is generally relatively low.

But Xu Nan was different. Seeing him coming, many people showed subtle expressions. Even if some people didn't know him, some people whispered beside him.

Knowing that this is the Huaxia director Xu Nan who is known as the mudslide in the circle, many people have strange expressions, are a bit reserved, or hold their own identities, and they are not interested in Xu Nan, and even have some hostility.

Those with low status are cautious, afraid of leaving a bad impression on Xu Nan.

Even if Xu Nan was hostile by many people in the circle, to many people at the banquet, he was still a high-ranking figure who could not be offended.

In fact, being hostile has already proved Xu Nan's strength. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to be hostile, so he would just ignore it.

Xu Nan ignored the strange expressions of some insiders, and blended into the crowd with a glass of red wine.

There are too many people here today, many of them are famous producers and directors, as well as executives and bosses of major film and television companies. Although Xu Nan is a bit famous, he is not the most dazzling one, and soon no one will pay attention .

Of course, it's not that there are some men and women who are looking for opportunities to approach Xu Nan. These are crazy people who want to act in movies, and they are willing to give everything for it.

Hollywood is very open in this regard, and it is no longer an unspoken rule, it is straightforward, otherwise there would be no such thing as a red sofa.

Xu Nan was not interested in these people at all, so he declined directly.

He is not a conservative person, but he is really not interested in Americans because it is not in his aesthetic point of view.

Moreover, Americans generally have rough skin and a strong body odor, Xu Nan really can't accept it.

After wandering in the hall for a while, suddenly, everyone's eyes turned in one direction, Xu Nan was no exception.

Lin Ziyi appeared, she was wearing a black evening dress, beautiful and mysterious, shrouded in lights, like a noble queen, overlooking all living beings.

Lin Ziyi can indeed be called the queen, the queen of the entertainment industry. She is in charge of the Emperor Cinemas, and she can even be said to be the highest-ranking woman in the entertainment industry in the United States.

Many times, she can decide the life and death of some young actors or directors with just one thought.

The crowd gathered around like stars holding the moon, many of them were big shots in the circle.

Of course the little people also want to impress Lin Ziyi, but unfortunately their status is too low to make it up.

For this kind of occasion, Lin Ziyi was like a fish in water, and dealt with all the people who should be dealt with in a decent manner, without making people feel left out.

Especially those important people, she even took the initiative to say hello, such as Xu Nan, Lin Ziyi came to talk when she found a chance.

"Congratulations, the overseas box office of "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington" is going well, and the global box office is very likely to exceed [-] million."

Xu Nan shook his head regretfully: "Unfortunately, it's still not as good as North America."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "North America is already the world's largest film market, and it's pretty good to have such a box office."

"By the way, I heard that you are preparing for a new movie. Are there any missing roles? If so, can I introduce you to some?"

Obviously, Lin Ziyi is very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie.

In fact, not only Lin Ziyi, many people in the industry are very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie.
